[alsa-devel] snd_dice: category ID

[Rolf Anderegg]

Hi Clemens,

I'd like to request the following patch to be applied on the
firewire-kernel-streaming branch (current commit head
526795d69f5be6d058bdf89a65a303a1ee136aba).
It involves handling Weiss DICE devices which use a dedicated category ID (other
than TCAT's default Cat ID (0x04), which is not necessarily binding).
Citing (one of many) TC's user guide:

[...]
The manufacturer is free to use the lower 5 bytes of the WWUID in any way. The
DICE firmware, by default, uses the chip ID as follows:

Upper 32 bits of WWUID
+------------------------+--------+
| 24 bit OUI – 0x000166  | Cat    |
+------------------------+--------+
Category 8 bits: TCAT uses 0x04 for this field.

Lower 32 bits of WWUID
+----------------------------+----------------+
| 10 bit product identifier  | 22 bit serial# |
+----------------------------+----------------+
[...]

Presumably, few of the other vendors have changed TCATs default Cat. ID. We have
decided to change it to 0x00 since the beginning of our DICE product-line, alas
this should be considered in snd-dice's dice_interface_check.
Thanks in advance.
